Ár n-Áit (Irish for "Our Place") is more than just a gallery or café—it’s a creative hub where artists, makers, and the local community come together. Located in the heart of Skibbereen, West Cork, we provide a welcoming space for artistic expression, collaboration, and meaningful conversations over great coffee.

Our Vision

We believe in the power of art and community to inspire, connect, and create change. Our goal is to support contemporary creative practice by offering:

Rotating Art Exhibitions – Showcasing emerging and established artists across diverse disciplines.

A Developing Artisan Workspace – A future home for makers to work, share, and grow together.

Workshops & Events – Bringing people together through hands-on creativity, music, and discussion.

A Thoughtfully Curated Coffee Bar – Serving locally roasted beans from Red Strand Roasters alongside artisan snacks from West Cork’s best bakers.

A Gathering Place for Creatives

At its core, Ár n-Áit is a community-driven initiative, led by artists and creatives who are passionate about fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and supportive environment. Whether you're here to exhibit, create, learn, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, you’re always welcome.
